FAQ
Why would I need a license?
A license is needed if you want to use the music for anything else than just listening for your pleasure. Typical uses are
  • freestyling over a beat
  • licensing music for use in TV or for a movie
  • remixing or use audio samples
What are the license options and what are the differences between those?
We offer up to 5 license templates (Basic, Premium, Track Out, Unlimited, Exclusive) and it's up to the artist which ones he/she wants to make available. Each license comes with different perks. In general, the higher the price, the better the perks.
You can click on each feature on the left side of the comparison chart above to learn more about each one.
When will I get the track I purchased?
You can download all related files immediately after your purchase. We also email you a one-time download link for a download later.
How can I remove the audio tag from the track?
A "tagged beat" is a demonstration version of an instrumental that contains distinct audio watermarks that typically play throughout the entire track. The purpose of a producer tagging his/her instrumental is to prevent piracy and to encourage serious recording artists to purchase a license.
To get a tag-free audio please make sure you purchase a license which features "untagged audio".
I purchased a $1 download, why is the beat still tagged?
Beats purchased for $1 in our store are meant for streaming and demo use only, just like downloads from iTunes store or Amazon music.
To license a beat without audio tag and to use in a professional manner please buy a license from this page. Usually those are $25 and up.
What is a stem / trackout file?
A Stem file is an audio file that contains a track split into several musical elements: A drums stem, a bassline stem, a harmony stem, and a lead stem for example.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.
Why would I need a stem / trackout file?
A trackout file gives you much better control. Imagine you rap over a beat and you realize the percussions take the focus away from your vocals. With a trackout file you can simply tone down the percussion and the focus is now on the vocals. With a trackout file you have much more flexibility and a whole different level of control.

In the early 90's and 2000's no one was really checking for poets. Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam was what us poets wanted to be on for our chance. With undiagnosed social anxiety at the time. The path to get there was too tricky for me.

The music industry wasn't messing with Conscious or Political Rap either. Growing up with the influence of Public Enemy, Paris, X-Clan as well as others. I never shunned from stepping into the world to uplift.

Maturity is what Tupac and Biggie needed like all young Black Males. I learned how to make beats because very few were dealing with Poets and "That heady shit".

Though never shared. I adopted software music (electronic music and daws) early. Specifically Logic Pro software/Akai hardware,MacBook Pro 2005. Also adopted music software distribution channels early. It was the wild Wild West 18 years ago(really longer, think “starlight Quincy Jones and Hammond plug ins software hardwear[flex]! I placed work on sites that went under, changed their policies unbeknownst to me about financial data, etc. Even the reporting of your data has become more transparent. I didn't know in 2012 I had that many views on this site. It wasn't an option to see then.

I’ve also lost or had stolen, more than I care to remember passwords, hard drives and laptops with original stems of my creations produced by me. I also say all that to say when these sounds became available they were NEW, cutting edge.

I would travel every Monday on my day off to attend a producer masterclass in person to learn how to use my then very new to the music industry 'Maschine Studio’. From the best of the best in the industry. The class was off West 14th in NYC. I would drive from VT at the time to NYC. First day of class I win the how far did you come to get here prize. Extra time with the instructor. I’ve put in work. For the Love of Hip Hop.

With the onslaught of Ashanti, Taylor Swift and rulings by the FCC. More importantly what Mr. George Cinton and his Family have done to claw back his copyright and publishings for black artist behind the scenes for decades. I can get most of my stuff back, modify work off uncooperative sites (if you were texted “Nazca Lines, you know)and have upon written request. It’s been arduous.
